So, you’ve knit some lace, and it looks like a big pile of holey cheese. Now what? Where’s that gorgeous shawl pictured in the pattern photo?

There’s only one way to see the true beauty of what you’ve made. Block it!

In this video, I go over all the tools you’ll need for the job. I’ve also included our existing tutorial on blocking with Lace Blocking wires. I had planned on photographing the process as well this week, but time was not on my side! I will post some next week. Do you have any questions about blocking, or have blocking before-and after stories and photos to share? I’d love to hear from you!

Now, without further ado, let me introduce you to the most fun and magical part of lace knitting.
